worked from daylight till dark. On Monday (for the steward 
and servants were to come with the pupils) the floor was swept, 
and Tuesday morning the beds were made by Mrs. Agassiz and 
the writer’s wife. That morning, also, the cows were removed 
from Mr. Anderson’s barn; the last nails of a new floor were 
hardly driven when the steamer arrived, and in that room, still 
hung with spider webs and frequented by the swallows, were 
delivered the inaugural address and eaten the first dinner at 
Penikese. 
The invitation of Professor Agassiz to codperate in the work 
of the school had beén accepted by about twenty, and it is 
pleasant to note that, with hardly an exception, their services 
were freely offered, although liberal arrangements were after- 
wards made with those who, in addition to Professors Agassiz 
and Guyot and Count Pourtalés, actually gave instruction. 
These were Edwin Bicknell, T. I. F. Brewer, B. Waterhouse 
Hawkins, A. S. Packard, Paulus Roetter, and the writer. 
The roll of pupils is printed on pages 19-20 of the Report 
of the Trustees for 1874; it is here reproduced, alphabetically 
arranged, and with the addition, in parentheses, of the present 
official positions so far as known to the writer. Those known 
to have died are indicated by an asterisk.
